However it's just wrong to go into a thread and go "these guys fucking suck they're a disgrace to music, they should be shot like dogs, etc...."

That's the thing that bothers me. If you have reasons why you don't like a band you should at least try to explain them in a better way. But most of the time people say stupid shit like that and it just makes them come off as immature assholes.

The main reason I avoid bashing bands I don't like is becasue you never know what that band may truly mean to somebody else. No matter how much you may not like a band that particular artist could've been around for someone else here and helped them through some hard times, or even saved somebody's life by discovering them. So people need to think before they thoughtlessly bash a band. Just because they aren't shit to you, doesn't mean that they don't mean the world to another person.

Sort of agree, but also, the point of this was "why does everyone care about other people's music tastes", but why do you(those complaining) care what other people think about your music taste?
Honestly I'd hope most metalheads were thick skinned enough to not give a fuck about others opinions on how what they love sucks, considering this is how the general public views all sorts of extreme music.
